Studio Bohemia Interactive has had to repeatedly offer tips to spot fakes.

Share on email Czech game studio Bohemia Interactive said on Tuesday that its game was being "falsely used as footage" from the Gaza conflict.Bohemia suggests people can spot fakes by looking for specific tells, including oddly low resolution video quality, lack of movement from people in the clip or the unnatural behavior of smoke, fire and dust, which are hard for games to depict accurately..

"With every video taken down, ten more are uploaded each day," Bohemia PR manager Pavel Křižka wrote at the time. "We found the best way to tackle this is to actively cooperate with leading media outlets and fact-checkers , who have better reach and the capacity to fight the spreading of fake news footage effectively."It's unclear the extent to which the proliferation of Arma footage during military conflicts is the work of propagandists as opposed to online trolls.Share on linkedin
